Can't install tinytex via install_tinytex()

It is possible you have this error because of the space in the username DEEP & AVRA - I think this is breaking the command. It happens also with package installation. Space in username on windows is not a good thing !

I don't know if there anything we can do in tinytex installer. But I will try to look into it. You can open an issue in tinytex repo too linking to this thread ?

Can you try installing using the advanced offline method too ?

Hi, I asked the below question on stack overflow: * https://stackoverflow.co…m/questions/56770843/how-to-install-tinytex-from-local-zip-file-in-r If I run `tinytex::install_tinytex()` I get an error due to some external proxy settings, which I have minimal control over, see the [SO post for details](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56770843/how-to-install-tinytex-from-local-zip-file-in-r). As a work around I downloaded a `install-tl.zip` file in my browser. > I was wondering if there is a way when running `tinytex::install_tinytex()` to point to this .zip file ? Or another way of using this `install-tl.zip` to install from ? Any help would be great :)  --- By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that - [x] I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.name/issue/. - [x] I have provided the necessary information about my issue. - If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there. - If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included `xfun::session_info('tinytex')`.
